Paul (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Ryan (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM. That gave Paul a 2 minutes head start on Ryan. On foot, Paul ran 1:20:29 and Ryan ran 1:18:39 — Ryan was 1:50 faster than Paul. Paul took official place 816th (time-based 662nd) and Ryan took official place 821st (time-based 600th). Paul's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ryan was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ryan gained 2:08 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
